Arab Delegate To Security Parley Raps French Acts , SAN FRAN CISCO, June 20 (UP) Egyptian delegate Abdel Hamid Badawi Pasha, speaking in behalf of the Arab league at a public session of the United Nations conference, today de nounced France for recent "acts of aggression" against Syria. The Freeh delegate, Maurice Le Jean, tried in vain to have the Egyptian delegate called to order but oemmission chairman Wilhelm Morgenstierne of Nor way declined to do so on ground it would unduly delay proceed ings. The inlro-family row among United Nations broke into the open during consideration of the world charter chapter which as sures France a permanent seat on the proposed world security council. Spain Denied Seat It was the second successive day that contemporary world problem overshadowed the tech nical wurk of drafting a world charter. Generalissimo Francis co Franco of Spain was roundly denounced last night before a commission which voted unanim ously to blacklist Spain from membership in the United Na tions while Franco is in control. Badwai brought up the recent French-Syrian crisis by asserting that the Arab states would have been justified in opposing eleva tion of France to the role of a great power. Australian Foreign Minister Herbert V. Evatt was standing firmly against accepting the new Russian proposal to nairow the powers of the general assembly to talk, but the big five were confident of winning a solution of that issue very soon possibly before tonight's public session of tlu commission on the assembly.

In (act, the president was pre pared to extend hi visit here un til soniqtime early next week while he awaits the completion of 'a vast, iast-minute pile-up of paper. w,ork at the conference. If the president remains on the west coast until next Monday or Tuesday which now seems to be the most likely date for the con ference to end it will mean the postponement of his date in Washington next Monday with Gov. Thomas E. Dewey of New York, the 1 044 Republican presi dential candidate. It also will mean that the pres ident will go direct from San Francisco to homecoming cele brations at Independence, Mo., and Kansas City on June 27 and June 28. The president was in frequent contact with San Francisco and was constantly urging that the conference be brought to an end because he is anxious to present the final charter to the senate for consent, to ratification as soon as possible'. The presidents schedule today contained only two brief engage ments the presentation of the congressional medal of honor to a hero fq the northwest, and a reception for state officials. Oth erwise, he was taking it easy. MQHQH CONTRQLj TIGHTENS PORTLAND, June 20 (UP) Oregon liquor cor.tr.ol commis sioners are tightening law en forcement.
